# Whitman Zoning Board of Appeals October 26, 2026

The Whitman Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on October 26, 2026, considered three land-use applications; no procurement, contract awards, or budget decisions were identified. The board approved Joseph and Don Caparello’s detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 360 School Street by a 5–0 vote, conditioned on the basement not being used as living space and construction controls to prevent runoff and siltation. The application received favorable Planning Board action and conditional Board of Health approval, including a requirement to connect to town water and sewer.

The board continued Cassandra and Joseph Damrosio’s ADU hearing for 130 Burton Avenue to November 2 because required newspaper notice had not run on schedule. Members and a neighbor raised concerns about the proposed unit’s floor area, drainage, and proximity to a creek; the applicant was asked to provide a more complete plan and further information. The hearing for a second-floor apartment over the repair garage at 333 South Avenue was also continued, with board members seeking further fire-safety review, structural and environmental information, and compliance with existing site-plan conditions. The board additionally discussed how state ADU law affects family-occupancy restrictions and zoning relief, but took no new policy action.
